    IIRC, after we played, extremely well, at the Etihad a couple of years ago, there were a couple of gasheads that went straight on to the Man C forums slagging us off and saying they 'would have taken more fans', 'much better club', 'love us more than them gurt 'teds' etc only to be embarrassed by the Man C collective. It made for great reading on the long trip home as I remember it. 

    Like Man C fans give a shit! 

    There was definitely one who went on a Man City forum in the lead up to the game. Trying to find someone who’d say they preferred them to us.

    Think he got told that they didn’t give a shit iirc.

    Being of a young age when Somerset moved out of Bristol, Gloucestershire were always my team. My dad seemed to be more of Gloucestershire fan anyway, probably because his favourite player was Wally Hammond, so as a family we have always been one of those anomalies, (City and Glos) that crop up every now and then.

    I’m City and Glos too, but unlike in Football, I was pleased to see Somerset win at Lords the other week.

    Just cutting and pasting the whole article in case it disappears:

    Big Screen Update

    Bristol Rovers are disappointed to announce that there has been a further delay to the installation of the big screen at the Memorial Stadium, meaning it will not be in operation for tomorrow’s game.

    As previously stated the club purchased the new 30sqm screen in July last year from Stadia Solutions, a leading international sports and entertainment agency that specialises in fully managed technology and media platforms, with the aim of having the screen installed next to the Brunel sponsored South Stand by the end of 2018.

    Although the screen was delivered on time in October, due to its size a special bespoke support structure was required to attach the screen to the current steelworks at the stadium. Unfortunately, the unique nature of this structure led to various complications with Stadia Solutions’ sub-contractor, resulting in subsequent delays with installation.

    Work started this week :laugh:, ahead of the new proposed completion date of this weekend. However, the contractors have experienced further unforeseen issues on site which has delayed installation slightly. The team has been working tirelessly to fix the problems encountered but unfortunately screen will not be installed and operational in time for tomorrow’s game which is hugely disappointing. Work will continue next week and completed as soon as it possible.

    We apologise for the further inconvenience and would like to thank all supporters and screen sponsor Brunel Professions for their continued patience.

    I don't know which station they have on the radio at work (I do know its older music) but I absolutely pissed myself today when an advert came on encouraging people to go to the dump for one of the last home games,and to call or visit their SUPERSTORE for tickets :laugh:. I just saw an image in my mind of the portacabin surrounded by rubbish and muddy puddles.

    the closest they've been to a superstore was a deal with Sainsburys but even they turned their dump down

    Sam FM mate.

  5. When you think your new stadium will be a hit, but your stuck in a shitpit that’s Bristol Rovers! 

    When only Spurs spend more on a stadium upgrades, but your stands are made in a few days, that’s Bristol Rovers.

    When you log on to Gaschat, because you’re a thick prat, that’s Bristol Rovers!

    When you spout total crap, and you’re minding the gap, that’s Bristol Rovers!

    When you make up stories, of imaginary glories, that’s Bristol Rovers!

    I’m done now, honestly!

    So what are the rovers hotspots then? Hanham, St.George,Downend, Mangotsfield, Keynsham, Warmley, Yate? 

    Do they have any? I’m not saying that there’s not more of them here than us, but it’s nowhere near as big as they’d like you to think it is.

    I’m born and bred here, and in the 37 years I’ve been on this Earth, I’ve known plenty of City here, I’d wager much more than the Sags have got in South Bristol.
